 The renovation of the Meijiya Kyobashi Building has been completed following the redevelopment of the Kyobashi 2-chome west area.

Following the opening of the office floor on August 31, the Meijiya Kyobashi store was newly opened on September 16.

Completed in 1933 (designed by Sone Nakajo Architects) renovated after preserving the elegant appearance of the Italian Renaissance style at the time.

In addition to the classic plant decoration called Acanthus, the beautiful details decoration is alive.

At night, it is equipped with a colorful light-up function with LED lighting, and it is a new outfit.

The completion of the entire redevelopment of the Kyobashi 2-chome West Area is scheduled for fall 2016.

On the other hand, the Yonai Building (Ginza 2) was completed in 1930. (Design: Matsunosuke Moriyama)

It is a Romanesque-style design in the Middle Ages, and the arch windows with spiral pillars are impressive.

It gives a light accent to the solid stone wall. (Historic buildings, Tokyo)

On the 1F and B1F, in April 2015, the Henri Charpantier Ginza store, which was inspired by Osman-style Partman in Paris, was renovated and reopened as "Ginza Maison Henri Charpantier".

The concept is "Wonderland of dreams separated from everyday life."

In addition to the "Boutique" at the back of the 1st floor and the "Salon de Te" on the B1st floor, there is also a "barmaison" where you can enjoy desale with alcohol.

The glittering illuminations of the brand shop on the main street are also splendid, but the new outfit of the retro building is also delicious and worth seeing.
